The first thousand three hundred and thirty-one chapters changed to Taiping
After the Japanese pirates where Shouhou was located rushed to the fort, four groups of Japanese pirates joined together and adopted the tactic of surrounding three and missing one. They deliberately left the northern fort wall open and left it alone, while building ladders from the three southeastern and west fort walls to attack the fort. On the one hand,
I hope to break through one of the fort walls, and on the other hand I hope that the people of the fort will flee from the northern fort wall out of panic. As long as the people leave the tortoise shell of the fort, they will become lambs to be slaughtered.
However, the people in the fort were obviously not stupid. No matter how the Japanese pirates threatened them, they still insisted on defending the fort.
"Baga! These damn two-legged sheep are defending the fortress, and we haven't prepared siege equipment in advance. If we want to smash this turtle shell, I'm afraid we have to invite more than a hundred brothers to cut down trees and build siege ladders."
And a battering ram will do."
"No, it will take at least an hour to cut down trees to build a siege ladder and siege ram, and it will take another hour to attack the fort. Then we have spent too much time in this small Xiaowu Fort. How can we still have time to plunder?"
Other villages and towns may have missed important events for King Hui. When the time comes, the ship owner will be blamed, and we cannot afford to bear the blame."
"Then, if these two-legged sheep are lucky, we will bypass this fort and plunder other villages and towns instead."
After several small Japanese pirate leaders failed to attack the fort, they discussed among themselves for a while and decided to let the outpost go and plunder other villages separately.
"Isn't it the same in other villages?" A Japanese pirate said to the Japanese pirate leader with some worry.
"Shut your crow's mouth. They don't know what to expect, so how could they avoid it in advance?! This is just a coincidence. Besides, buildings like Wubao are easy to build there. There is such a Wubao in Jingnan County.
It’s already very rare. I don’t know which landowner who cared about his life built it! If this happens again in other villages and towns, I will twist my head off and play it as a ball for you.”
The little leader of the Japanese pirates cursed and kicked the worried Japanese pirate, thinking that this would never happen again.
The Japanese pirates, led by their respective little leaders, bypassed the outpost and pounced in other directions like hungry wolves.
After a cup of tea, they rushed to another village closer inland and found that this village was also empty.
I rushed to another village, but it was also empty.
After evacuating five villages in a row, they once again encountered a heavily defended outpost.
The worried Japanese pirate looked at the little leader.
"Rough! Why are you looking at me like that? Do you really want me to turn my head off and use it as a ball for you to kick?!" The little leader of the Japanese pirates cursed angrily and raised his leg to stagger the Japanese pirate.
.
The Japanese pirates in other ships also encountered the same situation. All the villages along the coast of Jingnan were empty, and they all hid in the nearby outposts. The Japanese pirates came in a hurry and had no siege equipment. They took these outposts at once.
There is no way.
The Japanese pirates felt that something was wrong, and sent people one after another to inform the captain Ye Zongman of the situation. Of course, Ye Zongman had known about it for a long time. He led hundreds of Japanese pirates from his direct lineage and evacuated several villages before encountering a sentry fort.
After tentatively attacking the fort once and injuring two Japanese pirates, Ye Zongman withdrew his team and stopped attacking the fort.
"The exterior wall has long been dry. Judging from the color, texture, etc., this fort has been built for at least a few months. It should have been built during the great flood. Jingnan has been guarding us for a long time. Judging from the posture, it is nearby
All the villages within a radius of five or six miles have taken refuge in the outposts. Everything was moved so cleanly, at least one or two days in advance...Jingnan had predicted in advance that we would land and loot in the near future."
Ye Zongman looked at the outpost in front of him, frowned slightly, and said unwillingly.
"Could it be that Jingnan planted spies among our brothers?!" A close friend of the Japanese pirates said uncertainly.
"What a bastard spy! This morning I got the order from King Hui to 'do your best, without any taboos'. It was only confirmed at noon today that Taizhou Mansion will be sacked. Can the spies predict the news in advance and inform Jingnan in advance?!"
When Ye Zongman heard this, he slapped his confidant on the back of the head, stared at him, and cursed.
That's right, the confidant Japanese pirates shrank their necks.
"Last time, Jiangmen Master, Tie Jingang, and Ping Hachilang invaded Taizhou and invaded five counties. Jingnan was the only one who escaped death. When I heard the news before, I thought Jingnan was lucky, but now it seems...
Jingnan's survival was not as simple as good luck. Zhu Ping'an, the magistrate of Jingnan, was not simple. He actually guessed that King Hui would order the plundering of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the near future and took precautions in advance."
Ye Zongman looked away from the fort and sighed softly.
"Shipmaster, since the people in Jingnan have all taken refuge in the forts, instead of wasting time and effort to attack each fort one by one, we might as well just gather the army and attack Jingnan County without stopping. There are more than 6,000 of our brothers.
I don’t believe that we can’t destroy a small county town.” A close friend of the Japanese pirates suggested.
"These villages and towns have prepared their defenses in advance. Do you think Jingnan County will be unprepared?! Of course, even if Jingnan has prepared its defenses, I will be fully confident in attacking Jingnan County, but it will definitely take time and I'm afraid it will also be compromised.
Many brothers, this is not the result I want, nor is it what King Hui wants to achieve. We must create the greatest fear for the Ming court in the shortest possible time!"
Ye Zongman shook his head slightly and rejected his subordinate's proposal.
However, Ye Zongman was unwilling to give it a try. Anyway, Taiping County was on his way to Taizhou Prefecture. He gathered his Japanese pirates and headed straight for Jingnan County. About half an hour later, they arrived at Jingnan County.
forward.
I saw Jingnan County in total darkness, and a county town lying on the ground like a sleeping ox.
"Ship owner, look, Jingnan County is completely dark. It seems that Jingnan County didn't take any precautions."
The confidant Japanese pirate couldn't help but said excitedly when he saw the darkness in Jingnan County.
"Alas! It seems that Jingnan has no chance with us. Let's go and live in Taiping County instead to let go of this stuffy feeling in our chests!"
Compared to the excitement of his confidant Japanese pirates, Ye Zongman was unwilling to give in and sighed reluctantly.
"Ship owner, Jingnan County is completely dark and obviously defenseless. Isn't it a pity to just leave like this? Please order the ship owner. I will take my subordinates to take down Jingnan County for the ship owner and dedicate it to the ship owner."
The Japanese pirates, who were close friends, were puzzled and held their necks to fight.
"Idiot! There must be a reason why things are abnormal! There are no lights at all in Jingnan County. Don't you think it's abnormal? They are obviously waiting for you to bring someone over. Believe it or not, I will turn you into a hedgehog?!"
When Ye Zongman heard this, he reached out and slapped his confidant on the back of the head, and cursed him with foam at the mouth.
"Stop wasting time and eat in Taiping County instead!" Ye Zongman scolded him before waving his hand and giving the order decisively.
